The Sierra Gelada Nature Park and the surrounding coastline are one of the most extraordinary in the Valencian Community, being the first marine and terrestrial park in this area.It is a protected site with a total surface area of 5,564 Hectares, 4,920 hectares of which are a marine reserve and in these waters are some of the most interesting underwater areas of the Mediterranean peninsular. The most outstanding being the large prairie of Phanerogam (a protected species) known locally as Alquers (posidonia oceanica) and the rocky sea bed, around La Llosa, which has exceptional biological diversity.

In the terrestrial part of the park special mention should be made of the protected fossil dune, flora of exceptional value and the large variety of native plants. Access and journey through the park is free and is made on foot. It is always recommended that you do not stray from the roads or paths and that you comply with the legislation, especially the Plan de Ordenacion de los Recursos Naturales, (DOGV 4.967).

Visitors to the Sierra Gelada Nature Park have the option of three different itineraries or routes, each one is marked with a colour: red, blue and yellow, the last of which is the longest and most difficult. Although visitors to a protected area like the Sierra Gelada are probably well aware of the safety requirements that should be followed when visiting nature areas, please allow us give you the following advice:

There are no drinking fountains in the Nature Park. Please ensure that you bring sufficient water and food.

During the winter months it may be necessary to bring a woollen hat and sun screen.

Wear special footwear for hiking.

Although it is a coastal range, do not underestimate the challenges of the Sierra Gelada Mountain.

Before embarking on a route calculate the unevenness, slope or gradient and geography or orography of the area.

If you take a dog with you it must be kept on a leash.

Please respect the flora and fauna in the area at all times.

Be extremely careful if it is raining in case of landslides.

For security reasons and in the case of any extreme weather alerts, the park may close temporarily the routes through the area.
